SHEARS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 453,669, dated June 9, 1891.

Application filed November 18, 1890. Serial No. 371,880. (No model.)

ing them open. Fig. 3 is an edge view of the shears. Figs. 4 to 6 are corresponding views of a modification.

The letter A represents the fixed blade of a pair of shears made in one piece with its handle A. To this handle there is pivoted by pin O the movable blade G. This blade is worked by means of a handle D, pivoted to a lug A of blade A by pivot B.

The handle D is provided with a pin E, engaging a slit F of blade G. As the handle D is reciprocated in the usual manner, the pin E reciproeates in slit F and operates the movable blade.

In Figs. 4 to 6 the slit F is formed in the rear of the movable blade G and is engaged by the pivotC in lieu of the pivot E. To prevent working out of the slit edges the slit F is formed in a precious stone S, mounted in the blade G, as shown.

WVhat I claim is The combination of fixed blade and handle with a movable blade, a mounted stone S, having a slit, and with a movable handle, and a pivot for operating the movable blade, substantially as specified.

In testimony whereof I hereunto sign my name, in the presence of two subscribing witnesses, this 29th day of October, 1890.

RUDOLPH SOl-IEEWE.

Witnesses:

TH. D. CARL PETERSON, ADOLPH LYIRKE.
